Pros Genesys Cloud provides a live platform where we can take immediate action in a fast-paced environment, which is something we haven't had the ability to do in the previous telephony system we had. And the insights that it provides is invaluable. Cons Some metrics can be hard to find, however this space is constantly improving. Also we found calling people internally (both users having Genesys Cloud), means we are not able to retain a recording. Switched from [Avaya Experience Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/212871/Aura-Call-Center-Elite/) No live reporting, and changes were very slow to make. Not agile. Review Source AT Alejandra T. BU Regional Sales Manager Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Genesys CRM CX Makes the difference " January 21, 2025 5.0 Timeline of the project si half the usual timeline from other vendors. Easy to use and intuitive for users. The payback, once implemented, as a multi-channel tool is awesome. Pros Fast and easy to implement. Lots of functionality and great APIs to integrate with almost anything. Cons Pricing is high. You must do a Business Case to evaluate ROI and TCO. Switched from [Avaya UCaaS](https://www.capterra.com/p/1174/CRM-Central/) Required because of obsolescence. The approach of the evaluation was to do a complete Technological Refresh, moving to the cloud for better performance and updating of new versions. Review Source SM Sherry M. Executive Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Expensive but worth it" March 12, 2026 5.0 Overall using Genesys Cloud CX is very efficient, although not easy to learn. It takes some time to learn how to use it, but it is worth it. Pros There are many pros with Genesys Cloud CX such as having everything in one platform (phone calls, email, texting, etc). It makes helping our customers so much faster. The built in AI is always a plus! Cons The only cons, per se, of Genesys Cloud CX are that it was a bit difficult when first setting it up. It has taken some time to learn it. Other than that, it is one of the more expensive programs or platforms. Review Source Jordan M. HR Generalist Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effective, Clear, Useful, just a bit annoying." August 19, 2025 3.0 Only service I have regularly used for engaging with external vendors and customers as an HR Rep. Works well, just need some quality of life changes. Pros Simple to use deskless calling service with the ability to forward calls and review voicemails. I enjoy that I can easily forward messages to direct members of our team for feedback as well as leave them notes. The caller ID, volume options, and interface is well done. Automatically connects to my device profile with my custom controls and settings which is a nice feature. Directory works really well and I could easily contact someone within the company if I had to. Cons The ringer options and customization for sounds is very minimal. I found them all to be pretty pitchy and difficult to stomach on a regular basis. There is also no way to mute or ignore a call for our team phone line. I end up just muting the entire site which is not helpful. If this was adjusted or changed, I would consider this product top-tier. Review Source MH Moe H.

Cons Being a cloud-native platform, internet connectivity issues occur occasionally causing downtime on chanels.

I am happy with it and sticking with it. It provides all the support and services we needed. Pros Simple to use and offers first-class connectivity. Makes calling so much quick by integrating it with other platforms. Absolutely friendly customer support making the quality much better. Moreover, all the features can be managed by admin dashboard giving full control. Cons Now I do not have problems with this tool. However, during purchasing and launching, I needed assistance from their team just to be sure that I was doing the right thing.

Scalable for all business sizes. Future-proof, enterprise-grade CX hub. Ideal for digital-first brands but needs IT commitment for complex use cases. Pros This is True omnichannel (voice, chat, email, social) in one platform. AI/ML tools (predictive routing, sentiment analysis) boost efficiency. Rapid innovation with monthly updates. Cons I think high TCO and Advanced workflows require developer expertise. Also it's Regional Language AI - Hindi/Tamil/Marathi NLP accuracy dips vs. English, slowing vernacular customer support. Not offer pure on-prem. Review Source cC cody C.

Great for managing contact center. Pros Genesys cloud is a very incredible tool for contact centers, great software for navigating calls. Easy to use and great for stat reporting and analytics. Cons At times learning the ways to transfer calls, and just learning the ins and outs took time. However after a little bit of exploring you can pick up what you need. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Associate technical support engineer Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Cluttered tool which can be so much better." March 3, 2025 3.0 It is overall an ok experience could be very good with some major updates. Pros Overall features are nice with the inbuilt mute button or the amount of information it gives, like lets say we are on queue and we can see others who are on queue and for how long they are there and on what team, once we learn about all the features it is very easy to use. Cons The call assignment is random and not as per first come first serve while on queue, navigation is very difficult with important buttons being very small and takes time to search if u are a new user. Review Source BV Brenda V. Broker Coordinator Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform" May 19, 2025 5.0 Excellent training materials and training. Very easy to use because everything is already built - complete cloud solution. The latest version and updates have been great. It has everything we need. Cons Reporting could be improved. Other than that, there is absolutely nothing to dislike about Genesys Cloud CX. Review Source PT Patience T. Director Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Managing Complexity" July 23, 2024 5.0 We have an extensive roadmap for the next year to incorporate more of the tools available to us with Genesys. Overall the experience has been positive but plan plenty of time for learning and education. Pros Our Contact Center is uniquely complex in that we have hundreds of queues. Genesys has allowed us to better manage those queues in a cost effective manner. We have the tools we need to operate our business successfully, we've realized improvements in workforce management and therefore customer satisfaction since the switch. Cons We launched Genesys in 2020, so our experience at setup is likely the exception, we struggled to get the support and education necessary to fully realize the benefits of this powerful software. It set us behind and we've been playing catch up to update and restructure.

Review Source KO Kymberli O. Product Owner Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "G Cloud" August 25, 2020 4.0 Overall I've enjoyed the transition to Genesys Cloud, the uptake internally was/is very positive! G Cloud is not as "self sustaining" as we were lead to believe but as we move through the learning curve we see less struggle. Pros Everything inside G Cloud is very user friendly. The features and integrations that are available have helped our organization grow and develop to be more productive and innovative. Cons There are consistent updates to the back end, we are generally aware of when these will take place however the updates do (at times) cause our internal systems to fail. Specific configurations are not always playing nice with each other.

Pros Nothing, phones rely on internet and are problematic from the start. Cons They are very unreliable. Vendor is at our site weekly, issues never get resolved.

CX Manager Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "All the reasons to continue to be a leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant" November 22, 2024 5.0 We used the solution to consolidate and improve efficiency across channels. we have improved both internal and external stakeholders experiences and we automated quite a few of our flows. The platform is very intuitive to use and powerful but at the same time it is missing some basic features, especially in the area of quality monitoring or reporting on chatbot interactions. Pros User friendly interface (intuitive and easy to use). Implementation was not difficult. More indicators available (than previous solution we were using). Overall, it is a very powerful platform for omni-channel. Cons Reporting is below expectations, especially for quality monitoring. The backlog for new developments is continuously delayed. Review Source DL Daniela L. Sales manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Robust Tool for Modern Businesse" August 28, 2024 3.0 In short, is a powerful tool that, despite its complexity, can significantly enhance how businesses interact with their customers. Pros It integrates everything seamlessly, making customer interactions smooth and efficient. The built-in AI is a game-changer, predicting customer needs accurately. Plus, the user interface is super intuitive Cons It can be a bit overwhelming at first. There’s a lot to learn, and the sheer number of features can feel daunting. It’s powerful, but it definitely has a learning curve. Review Source NC NINA C. FL Administrator Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Genesys Cloud CX" November 24, 2024 3.0 okay but not too great ... CX can def improve their features buttons Pros I was able to use the functions all in all Cons Features and functions can improve for call operators and admin users Review Source SKT Song Kean T. NOC and SOC Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Smooth Operator" April 15, 2024 5.0 A telephony tool that works and delivers Pros Features rich tool to enable smooth customer service operation, inbound call recording and phone queues management. Configurable dashboard set-up Cons No notification to the users when it is disconnected due to network instability Review Source JT Jason T. Business Technology Solution Architect Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Genesys Cloud " April 30, 2021 4.0 Pros It is easy to set up an IVR using Architect. User creation is simple and bulk imports are available. You can separate areas of your organization using Divisions which is beneficial. If you utilize Genesys Cloud Voice as your carrier, setting up and provisioning phones is simple. Also, this is a cloud based application, they are always updating it. Genesys has an ideas page, where you can submit changes you would like to see to the application and vote on other changes that have been suggested. Cons The reporting when it comes to segments of the calls and where they are transferred to could be better. It is difficult to determine where calls are going. The system does not currently record calls between users. We have several scenarios where an agent calls for assistance that we would like to be recorded. Review Source Sam O. IT Systems and Telephony Admin Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Feature Rich, easy to use Telephony Systemz" June 4, 2021 5.0 Genesys Cloud has been amazing for our company since moving across from PureConnect. In this new "Work from Home" world we live in, it has been a massive contributor and backbone to our strategy and has allowed us to continue operating successfully during the Covid period. Pros It is very easy to find my way around, make quick changes on the fly and administer from anywhere in the world. The amount of new features coming out weekly was also a huge selling point for us and watching the system grow and evolve has been fantastic. Cons I would like a few more fine-grained features such as being able to customize the hold experience per flow and being able to take some of the global features and making them IVR/queue based due to requirements of different brands that I manage. Reason for choosing Genesys Cloud CX It was the best option for fitting our needs. It had enough features without being overly complicated and was cloud based and offered a work from home solution. Review Source James M. Director, Business Optimization & Integration Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing business interaction system with mobility and flexibility" December 14, 2021 5.0 The experience with Cloud CX has been amazing. The backed end (architect) is very easy to use and if you can work a visio diagram you can create a call flow. The baked in skill based routing and time of day route decisions is setup very well. Pros Our ability to run our entire phone system in the cloud and connect from any device with an active internet connection kept us in business through the initial pandemic shutdown. Not being tied to a physical location while having such a complete suite of features has been paramount to our success as an organization over the past couple of years. Cons I really do enjoy everything about the software including the new feature releases each month.

Manager Reporting & WFM Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Genesys is way ahead of it's competitors in multiple quadrants" February 2, 2023 5.0 Moving from a legacy system, to a modernized cloud based solution, cleaned up all our on-premise infrastructure, simplifying our technology stack. As well as providing us the ability to easily configure and deploy new IVRs and Callflows, while giving us the ability to quickly start using advanced features like Speech & Text Analytics and Workforce Management Pros \- Ease of implementation & configuration- Workforce Management- Pre-built Integrations Cons \- Agent Scripting needs a rebuild, it's old and hard to work with- Importing new agents is old and hard work with, needs to keep up with the features and functionality- The Salesforce External Routing feature isn't well documented or understood Reason for choosing Genesys Cloud CX Cost, ease of deployment and ease of maintenance Review Source MS Michael S. System Administrator Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effective, easy to configure software for mid-sized contact centres" April 10, 2018 4.0 PureCloud has helped us modernize and improve how we interact with our customers. It has opened new channels to connect with us, and allows us to continue updating and improving the client experience. For the business, our Agents have a clean interface that lets them focus on the clients, our Supervisors are empowered to monitor and manage their teams, and our Administrators can respond quickly to changing demands. Pros The software was easy to configure, but powerful enough to handle significant customization for our groups. Interface is intuitive for our agents, and the features for call routing have allowed us to streamline the call-handling process. We have a half-dozen different teams using the platform, and each has unique features to meet their needs. As an administrator, changes can be made quickly to almost any aspect of the configuration allowing me to rapidly respond to any requests. The interface to make changes is entirely web-based, so only an internet connection is needed to do so. Further, having a cloud-based service has allowed us to quickly respond to service outages of our internet and phone systems. Situations that might have otherwise stopped operations entirely now require only a brief outage before agents can begin working again in a new location or with new devices. The provided API is flexible and powerful, which has allowed for further automation and functionality to be built in. Cons Supervisor and administrator interfaces are not as well designed as the agent experience. Simple and common tasks are often inconvenient, or difficult to find. Reporting capabilities are sufficient but inflexible. A relatively small number of out-of-box reports are available, and there are some key measures missing from those provided. Access of the raw data through the API allows more flexibility, but with significant additional work. External chat (customer to agent) is currently poor, with a very basic and limited experience. The internal chat is much more feature-rich, but is only used between system users. Support response is quick for Tier 1, but complex issues requiring escalation can be slow to be resolved, this is partially helped by the availability of a priority line for emergencies. Review Source Matthew C. Communications Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "99% Sunny and Hot with the odd occasional downpour" November 15, 2018 5.0 The overall experience we have had is a great one with a few niggles I would say to describe the downsides. The main experience moving past the building and testing stage into full BAU was another great experience as the support during the early stages was nothing less than exemplary. The issues that abounded with our previous dialler software supplier have now been remedied by our decision to align our business with the Genesys product Purecloud. We are now investing our time and efforts to implement Pureclouds growing functionality to unify our communications Chat, Email, SMS and Social and integrate these with the voice channel to improve the customer journey everytime they wish to communicate with us. Pros The ease of use when building the infrastructure to run all the different brands and departments here at Grove & Dean, the stability of the Platform as we are open 24/7 and have only a small team in support of the system. The ease of use, for the agent with the simple yet full featured agent interface and desktop environment. The roll out of new features or improvement of existing ones, the visionary updates from the Genesys senior team and the ability for the users to influence the shape of the platform through the ideas Lab and the fact that they "LISTEN" to the users. Lastly, which is not really a software benefit, the community of users that are sharing their experiences for the greater good for all. Cons The support post "LIVE" - Processes too long, lack of knowledge and experience in the first line support team, no immediacy, solutions not always valid and some of the Self Service referral techniques support attempt to use to justify their solutions.
